The vehicle was powered by Panhard '4-cylinder' petrol powerplant producing 86 HP which could drive the vehicle on roads at up to 47 mph with a range of about 405 miles before refuelling. Its cross country performance was good providing a max speed of about 20 mph and a range of about 240 miles.
It was armed with 1 light machine gun , a Mitrailleuse modèle 1931. Its main armament consisted of a 37 mm SA M1918 L/21 Puteaux which could penetrate 15 mm of flat plate at 400 metres
The vehicle had bullet proof tyres and very large rear wheels when compared with the front wheels. | |

Mitrailleuse modèle 1931
(Machine Gun) |
 |
|
| | History | |
|---|
| | Designed by Lt Colonel Reibel, the FM 24/29 was developed into a heavier machine gun capable of relatively sustained fire, by giving it an extremely thick and massive barrel, to act as a heat sink. |

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.
The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive
and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The
information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre,
the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation
originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
